I haven't been making cakes very long and a lady at work is wanting an anniversary cake with a fondant bow on top. She is wanting a 10 inch, 8 inch, and a 6 inch stacked. I am not even sure how to go about it. Do I just make cakes in the regular cake pans and when cooled divide them and icing. Isn't it best to transport them individually and then put it together? I am setting it up a night ahead of the party what is the best to cover it with to keep it fresh. On a fondant bow I found the directions on this site is those the easiest? I am on the verge of panicking. Please HELP and give my an info I need to know!!!!!!!! 
First take a deep breath and relax!! If you don't have to travel far you can take it all put together but it known the best way is to take it seperate. As long as you are going to have the cake in a very clean area it won't hurt it to set overnight. Most of mine do and then I deliever so there wouldn't be much difference.
Bow are tricky and the instuctions on this site are good but always know you have an out. Wilton sells them at wal-marts now all over the US. So if worse comes to worse which I know it won't you can go buy one and no one will know.
Good Luck and BREATH!!
Don't panic, we all began somehow.........
First off, bake your cakes in the pans desired and let set for at least a day to let the cake settle. To get the cakes level, use either the baking strips when baking, or level with a knife after they are baked. Then torte and fill if desired, and then crumb coat and decorate. Transport individually, and if you have never done a tiered cake before, the Wilton Hidden pillars and seperator plates are superb! Then, when you have it all set up at the location desired, you can place your borders and any other decorations you want on the cake. Just make sure to take extra icing, decorator bags and tips, and powdered sugar to fix any mess ups. Good luck and post pics when you are done! 
Thanks for all your help. I'm still confused on the baking--do I bake 2 10in cakes 2-8inch cakes and so on or do i make one and split them in half??????
Thanks so much everyone!! Keep your fingers crossed!!!!!
If you search the posts, you can find lots of helpful hints about doweling your cakes too!! You'll do great~~
It's not as intimidating as it seems. You'll do fine. And if all else fails with the bow, you can now buy fondant bows for the tops of cakes at Walmart - Wilton makes them. (You might want to check to see if your local Walmart carries them). Good last minute fix. But I bet you won't need it!!
Make sure you give your bow at least a week to dry and have a back up plan, I tried the bow for the first time and it was a lot harder than I thought it would be. It would not dry hard. I suggest using gumpaste or something besides fondant. Especially if it's at all hot or humid where you are.
